Book Description
Identification of hearing impairment in early infancy has emerged as an important public health issue, spurred primarily by significant technological advances in hearing screening tests. This is the report of a working group formed to provide information to assist those considering the development of programs for early hearing & communication development (EHCD). The approach selected was to develop & disseminate an evidence-based summary of the latest scientific information on key aspects of the rationale & methods for EHCD. The following matters are addressed in the report: the history of EHCD initiatives in Canada; the burden of hearing impairment in childhood; screening tests for hearing disorders; audiologic assessment of infants; medical evaluation & management of children with hearing impairments; the use of hearing aids and communication development strategies for children; outcomes of universal newborn hearing screening; the infrastructure needed for EHCD programs; and EHCD program evaluation & quality improvement.

Book Description
In 'Fast Facts: Early Hearing' Detection and Intervention an international team of contributors brings together the evidence that supports the effectiveness of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) and early hearing detection and intervention services (EHDI). As well as considering elements essential to successful UNHS/EHDI programs, including screening technologies, resources, data management and family-centered early intervention services, the team discusses the resources needed to deliver such programs as well as the performance of screening programs globally. The aim is to provide a comprehensive compendium of information to make the case for greater recognition of the importance of UNHS/EHDI and so improve the life chances of children who are diagnosed as deaf or hard of hearing. Table of Contents: • Newborn hearing screening and EHDI • Rationale for UNHS/EHDI programs • Prevalence of newborn hearing loss and performance of screening programs • Global status of newborn and infant hearing screening • Genetic and CMV testing • Medical evaluation and management of permanent childhood hearing loss • Middle ear effusion and other barriers to timely diagnosis • Data management systems for newborn hearing screening programs • Establishing UNHS/EHDI programs • Pediatric diagnostic audiology • Amplification device fitting • Family-centered early intervention • Unilateral hearing loss and auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder

Following the NIH recommendations of 1993, most U.S. hospitals now carry out Universal Newborn Hearing Screening. This new book-the first complete guide to this expanding field-provides detailed information on staff training, data collection, quality control measures and other UNHS issues. Practical and up-to-date, the book is a must for all specialists concerned with the development and management of newborn screening programs. The only book to combine specific management tips with the first-hand experience of seasoned UNHS professionals, this book should be in the collection of all audiologists, physicians, nurses and hospital administrators.
